Cons

Having 'difficult second album' issues at the moment, so lots of changes and some mis-steps.Being without CTO for a year resulted in over-focus on product ahead of sustainable development, which has caused some folks to leave. But I believe this can be fixed!Needs to make more smaller bets and be more agile - but senior management are aware of this and taking steps to changeUntil very recently didn't have a pension (but now does).

Advice to ManagementAdvice

Recognise what has/hasn't worked and make changes accordinglyDevelop sustainablyBe more agile and mix small & large bets/projects

Wonderful people to work with and learn from, the ability to move up within the company through hard work, fully stocked kitchen (have to add that in!). We have amazing new IP launching and a new game-changing App and I feel we are just about to take off (again)!

Cons

Employees can get down by other employee's (past and present) negativity, especially those outspoken about not being happy here. They are a complete minority, but a loud one.

Advice to ManagementAdvice

We trust you so please trust us! 99.9% of us believe in YOU and this company!

You get to work on great brands and are empowered to make things happen if you have a passion for what you do. There is opportunity to move around internally and your progression is taken seriously.There are great events throughout the year including an off site conference, and loads of other things you can get involved in depending what you're in to.The company has grown rapidly and changes a lot which may not be great for some people. Although I believe it will get better and better particularly when we have a new CEO on board. Exciting times!I work in a non-tech team and would say it's a great place with a really good team that are fun but also experienced giving us all opportunity to learn from each other.

Note: 'No opinion' for CEO is selected whilst the search for a new CEO is on.

Cons

There are a few 'cons' that some people have issue with, for example benefits, turnover, but senior management are aware, they discuss them openly with staff and are tackling them when the time is right.

No day is ever the same - Mind Candy is a very fast paced company where achievements are celebrated. It is full of lovely, super-smart people who care about one another and the company. A collaborative bunch where no question is ever stupid, too big or too small. At Mind Candy you are continually encouraged to take ownership of your work. There are now a lot of communication forums as this was something which was seen to be a problem in the past. Employees are also encouraged to get involved with events outside of work such as charities, tech meet ups and the running of school clubs.

Cons

Can sometimes feel slightly chaotic as it is so fast paced. The company has changed a lot over the past few years (good & bad) which has in turn lead to pockets of negativity.

Advice to ManagementAdvice

Keep up the good work. Continue to be positive role models for employees and continue to listen to everyone - it's 100% a two way thing.

Cool working environment with fun space. Best thing about this company is their ability to attract incredible people.

Cons

Overcome by fear of failure, the entrepreneurial phrase "Fail fast" does not apply here. In the past 2 years Mind Candy have been unable to release one mobile title until recently. Employees are driven by fear of getting the boot. The "magic" that the company once had has been diluted by poor managers who do not believe in or respect the people they have hired on for their expertise. Performance reviews are non-existent even when you ask repeatedly for some standard of "success" or way to be promoted.

Every product has been shelved or delayed numerous times and a constant cycle of starting over with never releasing any titles has the company spinning wheels with very low moral.

Advice to ManagementAdvice

Empower and respect the talent you have before they all wise up and go.
